Comments on: EU Commission Takes Steps To Suspend Bee-Toxic Pesticides http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=9487 News on pesticide science, policy and activism Thu, 16 May 2013 16:03:44 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: giorgio benatti http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=9487#comment-167262 giorgio benatti Mon, 04 Feb 2013 18:59:42 +0000 http://www.beyondpesticides.org/dailynewsblog/?p=9487#comment-167262 This is a very good news for bees and for us. I think that the increasing use of insecticides expecially in corn and vineyard is destroying also the swifts. I remember thath just ten years ago in late summer there were hundreds and hundreds, maybe thousands of swifts flying happy over the corn fields. Today you can count them in few half scores. It was a natural way to control the population of corn insects, today people use tons of pesticides that go down in water and we drink them. What a wonderful world we are creating!ciao

The hazardous people that push these damaging technologies also need to be suspended from something. Any suggestions?
